How much more of this would be going on if not for the "golden handcuffs" of a low 30 year mortgage?

"As conservative states wage total culture war, college-educated workers—physicians, teachers, professors, and more—are packing their bags."

I think you meant to say "states trying to conserve normal culture"..

Yeah, it's super important to have different viewpoints on how to keep the culture of conservative states alive. We gotta realize that losing educated professionals could really hurt the economy and progress.

This is a funny thread. My sister-in-law said, "I used to think I was normal but now I realize I am not." Normal to us is a responsible person who lives within their means and does not think anyone else owes them anything. They live a Christian life causing harm to no one. They are part of the solution and not the problem. Pay their taxes and give to the poor and care for their family. I could go on but the original poster would not understand being such a confused person. Sometimes you have to feel sorry for some people who just don't get it.

The two women who were mentioned first in the article want to live in a place where only the bad guys have guns, where they can freely transition children, where anyone can give a child medication, such as BC, without the knowledge or consent of the child's parents, where men belong in private areas designated for females, etc.

And they are also mad because:

Oklahoma’s governor had signed a law barring public schools and charter schools from teaching that “an individual, by virtue of his or her race or sex, bears responsibility for actions committed in the past by other members of the same race or sex.”

Huh? Who here actually believes that they are responsible for the actions, crimes or other misdeeds, etc., done by others just because you're the same sex or race that they are?

They sound like nutjobs, and the article comes across as liberal propaganda.
